It sounds like you are having some trouble with your Suzuki Jimny's fuel economy and spark plugs. I searched the web for some information that might help you diagnose and fix the problem.
One of the symptoms of bad or failing spark plugs is poor fuel economy, because the plugs do not efficiently burn gasoline in the combustion cycle³. Miles-per-gallon can drop by as much as 20% to 30%³. Other symptoms include difficulty starting your vehicle, rough idling, engine misfiring, rough acceleration, and exhaust that smells like fuel²⁴⁵.
To check if your spark plugs are bad, you can take them out and inspect them for signs of wear or damage. Look for electrodes that are worn down or covered in residue. You can also use a multimeter to test the resistance of the spark plugs and compare it to the specifications in your owner's manual².
If you need to replace your spark plugs, you can do it yourself or take your vehicle to a mechanic. A mechanic will replace the plugs and adjust each plug's gap to factory specifications using a special tool³. The cost of spark plug replacement may vary depending on the type of plugs you need and the labor charges of the mechanic. You can expect to pay between $16 and $100 for a set of four spark plugs, plus $40 to $150 for labor².
